RESIDENTIAL REVIEW
(Updated 5/22/13)

The department's residential review process was created by statute in order to ensure that teams who are considering residential services for a student understand the full range of educational options available as early in the process as possible.

Assessment Guidance for Residentially Placed Students
Local Education Agencies (LEA’s) are responsible to ensure that students placed in residential programs in Vermont, either by state agencies and approved through the Case Review Committee, or by the school district through the IEP process, are assessed with the same grade level assessments that their public school peers are assessed with, such as the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP). For information or questions, contact Mike Mulcahy, Interagency Coordinator.
